Hi, everyone!

🤔 Wondering whether your VPN is working at all? You can learn how to check that here: https://protonvpn.com/blog/blog-how-to-check-if-vpn-working/

♥️ Looking for a soulmate online? Unfortunately, many dating apps, like Tinder, Grindr, or Bumble, can present significant privacy risks. Here’s what you need to consider when using them: https://protonvpn.com/blog/how-to-stay-private-on-tinder-grindr-bumble/

🐌 Does every VPN really slow down your internet connection? Well, yes, but you can keep it to a minimum: https://protonvpn.com/blog/vpn-slow-internet/

How to check if it’s working? ipleak(dot)net is very helpful for checking that.

use it to check if your VPN is leaking DNS traffic whenever you swap proxies, almost zero VPN providers leak DNS traffic when connected, but almost all of them leak DNS traffic whenever you swap proxies.

Proton is one that doesn’t leak…at least not on desktop.

It CAN leak DNS traffic sometimes on some mobile OSs

Check your IP on https://ip.me and your dns server on https://dnsleaktest.com before and after connecting to a Proton VPN server.

dnsleaktest doesn’t work. ipleak is the one that gives you a proper test of that.

ip dot me? ipleak gives you a test of that too.
